Simple water icing is a paste made from water and powdered sugar. It is mostly used for the plainer and more homely cakes such as victoria sandwich cakes. A more complicated variation is glacé icing, which requires the icing sugar to be added to a boiled sugar syrup and beaten. The result is very glossy. These types of icing are often coloured and flavoured with orange, lemon, coffee, or chocolate.
